Man, oh man...
I can't connect at all.
(I'm this close to throwing it away. I have had this system running for 4
years and have installed and configured countless applications, but nothing
has been as frustrating as this sql stuff.)
Example:
localhost:/home/mike# mysqladmin version
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
localhost:/home/mike#
mike at localhost:~$ mysqladmin version
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'mike'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
mike at localhost:~$
